I am always a little bit amused (not in the sick sense) when people speak of anti-Semtism meaning racism against Jews, when the term's definition includes Arabs (as well as other Middle Eastern and North African people). I really think that if people just stopped to learn and think they'd discover how much more we have in common than in conflict.

We are still learning the letters!! Oh these old brains...aged almost 55 and 52 are slow indeed! We try to spend at least 15 minutes each night, or more...studying.<br /><br />2 jobs available...Tel Aviv and Beer Sheva...may not have spelled that one right. For electrical engineer which hubby is. He is praying over whether to apply. I feel certain he will for a job over there at some point. so we wait and see...<br /><br />I am torn as my son's family need help for awhile yet...#3 baby due soon with a SUPER active 2 yr. old and 4 yr. old...and the 4 yr. old has a very restricted diet and health problems. Plus my 21 yr. old college child still at home says NO WAY. But things could change here in such a way, that she might find living there to be a good thing too. This election destroys hope for most of us here...the lesser of 2 evils, frankly...and we do worry about how either man will do with regards to Israel. "I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you" is firm in our minds.<br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
